OJK Prepares Steps to Restore Investor Confidence in Capital Markets

Jakarta — The Financial Services Authority (OJK) is working to restore investor confidence in the capital markets. OJK Board Chairman Friderica Widyasari Dewi stated that this effort responds to numerous investors who have decided to withdraw from high-risk investment instruments.

“We are certainly working to restore confidence in our financial services sector, particularly in the capital markets sector. This is our priority,” she said during a press conference at the Indonesian Parliament building in Jakarta on Thursday, 12 March 2026.

The official noted that in executing several priority agenda items, coordination will be maintained to preserve the stability of the financial system, including responding to global geopolitical phenomena affecting Indonesia’s financial industry.

“If we develop this further, it relates to current geopolitical dynamics and their ripple effects. So we continue to assess our financial services sector, capital resilience, and other aspects,” she explained.

Additionally, the OJK will conduct deepening of the financial market aimed at supporting long-term priorities. “Because it will be impossible for us to contribute significantly to national economic development and support government priorities, especially long-term ones, if our market is somewhat shallow,” she said.

Furthermore, the OJK will encourage the financial services sector to innovate and develop without compromising consumer and public interests.

“This is also our priority and the main task going forward is for us to continue prioritising improvement and optimisation within the OJK organisation,” she concluded.
